I think I'm getting a bit obsessive with my appearance and social media. Not sure what to do about it... I don't know if it's a consequence of being at a deficit for a few months and getting some positive feedback over the weight loss that has me so starved for attention that I cannot physically stop.

Is this normal? I just realized how much my personality has diminished into something unlike me over the past few months despite doing this weight loss thing in a healthy manner + with lifting.

I spend a lot of time watching rom coms than I did before, reading forums on how to flirt online, fashion, makeup, skincare than I ever did before. To the point where I've neglected my love for reading, for watching a larger variety of interesting films and documentaries, keeping up with current events and work related info, industry related info etc.

I mean it's not bad to focus on aesthetics at all, but that wasn't what my life revolved around for the past 2 decades or so. It feels disingenuous to myself in some weird way. I can't seem to shake that feeling. Maybe I should go on maintenance mode for a week or two to clear my head. I've even found it hard to concentrate at work and noticed my productivity and focus has decreased dramatically.
